225GUY Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 I just bought a used set of V force 2 reeds... Is it hard to change them? Will i need any gaskets? Quote
DallasGDub Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Not hard at all. Hardest part is getting everything out of the way. Be careful not to drop anything in the intake. Make sure all the surface areas and parts are clean. Do not drop the reed (made that mistake myself...doe..) Always good to get new gaskets. 1 on each side of the reed, 4 all together. No sealent needed. Just gasket. Quote
225GUY Posted May 7, 2009 Author Report Posted May 7, 2009 So i cant just clean all surfaces and bolt together? Quote
DallasGDub Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Some use 1 set on the cyl side. I recommend a set on each side. But yes, it needs a at least 1 between the cyl and the reed. It is plastic to metal. Hard to get a air tight seal. I forgot, you also have to trim the stock intake boots back to fit. They have a lip on it that has to be trimmed down so it sits flat against the reed. You can search and see what I mean. I just used a razor. Quote
